You will get this when a unit gets to six victories in a row, and then pick which special ability you want. The easiest unit I found to do this with was Riflemen, on chieften difficulty, because you can usually out research the other factions and get one of these units for free. You will need to be the first to finish researching gunpowder to get a free riflemen. Also if you are using democracy, change back to republic so you can take out whomever you want, also you can combine a few riflemen together to make them pretty much unstoppable , until the other factions catch up.

You can also get this pretty easy right off the bat, if you meander the first warrior you get around the land and take out barbarians.

I tried this with other units, but none of them seemed to be as easy as the riflemen.

Another item that is helpful is the wonder of the oracle, this will let you know if you are more than likely to lose the battle and should back out.
